Explanation

SSH (Secure Shell) is the standard and most secure protocol for remote command-line access and management of Linux-based systems, including Ubuntu servers. HTTPS is used for secure web traffic, not direct server management. SFTP runs over SSH but is used for secure file transfers, not server administration.
